Re: POTP Security
We ordered POTP based on the initial blurbs by Kahn and others. It took a while to get it, we talked to Elementrix HQ and got voicemail, stutters and recordings saying be patient. We read c'punks' slash and burns in the waiting period. When the boxes appeared, we read the extra-thin documents -- mostly PR gush -- reflected, decided to leave the red white and blue boxes At No Time Padded. Later a POTP distributer's rep called to ask how we like the product. We said, haven't tried it, because we learned a bit from reading cryptography lists. We wondered if he knew what was being said. He said, yes, we know, but they're all wrong, it's a fabulous product, totally secure. How you gonna prove it, we asked, to consumers like us who don't know who to believe? You know, we're reading more these days about hacks of cryptography and we want to know more than press releases. The people you're citing for endorsement aren't cryptographers. Yes, he said, that's what we're hearing, that's why I'm calling you, we looking for users to endorse the program while we're waiting for patent approvals, and trying to get the crypto authorities to sign NDA's. Sorry, we said, we're can't take a chance on your product. Call us back after you get the crypto fuck-authorities to hack at it in public.
